AEPS Switching Services

Govt. of India (GOI) always looks forward to provide ease in banking facility to semi-urban and rural areas. As an approach towards this goal, GOI along with RBI, NPCI and UIDAI proposed a solution of eKYC and AEPS.

eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) removes all physical identification barriers to open an account. An individual can open an account with the help of Aadhaar number only.

AEPS(Aadhaar Enabled Payment System) empowers bank customers to access their bank accounts with the help of their Aadhaar number.

AEPS allows the customer of the bank to perform various card less transactions based on his Aadhaar Number and Biometric data through Micro ATMs installed at Bank Premises, BC Locations in the network of the bank and NFS.

Sarvatra is the first authorized Service Provider (ASP) of NPCI has developed Aadhaar Enabled Payment Services under Sponsorship module. Our AEPS solution is a secured and user-friendly solution which offers entire range of services from on-boarding a customer (via eKYC) to enabling customers to access their accounts using their Aadhaar number.

Sarvatra AEPS solution is available on wireless devices (POS terminal & Mobile) and can be installed anywhere. It also supports the PMJDY (Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana) objective of serving the un-banked and under-banked population of the country.

I am happy with the pace of work (in developing the UPI solution for ICICI Bank). It is also very encouraging the way you are tracking the progress. I am more confident that we can meet the deadline successfully.
